Namely these are now removed:
- Broker::relay
- Broker::publish_and_relay
- Cluster::relay_rr
- Cluster::relay_hrw
The idea being that Broker may eventually implement the necessary
routing (plus load balancing) functionality. For now, code that used
these should "manually" handle and re-publish events as needed.

* origin/topic/vern/vec-append:
d'oh, still have a (deprecated) string_array rather than string_vector
forgot to update test suite results for v += e
reap the fruits of v += e
test case for v += e
documentation of v += e
v += e implemented
Fixed a mistake in find_ip_addresses()
* origin/topic/vern/set-ops2:
documentation, test suite update
implemented set relationals
bug fix for set intersection
set intersection implemented
mirroring previous topic/vern/set-ops to get branch up to date, since I'm a n00b
Fixed a couple memory leaks and added a leak test
* origin/topic/vern/perf-history:
only generate history threshold events for > 1 instance mention those events in NEWS
a different sort of history update
'W' for zero window implemented; logarithmic 'T'/'C'/'W' history repetitions
I reverted a change that made TCP window tracking unconditional (possibly
accepting out-of-order packets) until further verification of test suite
changes.
Improved install instructions for libmaxminddb and location database.
Improved the explanation of how Bro finds the location database files,
fixed some reST formatting, and fixed a broken link.
* origin/topic/jsiwek/openssl-1.1:
Update install instructions for OpenSSL 1.1 compat
Remove requestorName parameter of ocsp_request event
Adjust x509 unit tests to work around OpenSSL 1.0 vs. 1.1 differences
Fixes for OpenSSL 1.1 support
This updates the "lookup_location" and "lookup_asn" BIFs to use
libmaxminddb. The motivation for this is that MaxMind is discontinuing
GeoLite Legacy databases: no updates after April 1, 2018, no downloads
after January 2, 2019. It's also noted that all GeoIP Legacy databases
may be discontinued as they are superseded by GeoIP2.
The generation of weird events, by default, are now rate-limited
according to these tunable options:
- Weird::sampling_whitelist
- Weird::sampling_threshold
- Weird::sampling_rate
- Weird::sampling_duration
The new get_reporter_stats() BIF also allows one to query the
total number of weirds generated (pre-sampling) which the new
policy/misc/weird-stats.bro script uses periodically to populate
a weird_stats.log.
There's also new reporter BIFs to allow generating weirds from the
script-layer such that they go through the same, internal
rate-limiting/sampling mechanisms:
- Reporter::conn_weird
- Reporter::flow_weird
- Reporter::net_weird
Some of the code was adapted from previous work by Johanna Amann.
* origin/topic/vern/case-insensitive-patterns:
use PCRE syntax instead of the beautiful new (?i ...) syntax
nitlet in NEWS entry
test suite update for case-insensitive patterns
document use of double quotes to escape case-insensitivity
bug fix for recent memory leak patch
documentation updates for case-insensitive patterns
d'oh there's isalpha. I looked earlier for isletter :-P
fix for handling [:(lower|upper):] in case-insensitive patterns
implemented /re/i for case-insensitive patterns
* origin/topic/dnthayer/ticket1947:
Fix some typos and formatting in NEWS
Add pattern operators to the documentation of operators
Fix minor typos in broker reference documentation
Fix a broken link and some typos in broker documentation
Fix reST formatting in documentation of "count" type
Add documentation for some new Bro features
* 'topic/vern/bit-ops' of https://github.com/bro/bro:
documentation clarification for "p1 | p2"
documentation for bitwise operators
document the '|' operator for patterns
test suite for bitwise operators brief NEWS blurb allow for "counter" operands (does anyone still use these?) for one (but not both) of the bitwise operands
bitwise operations for "count" types implemented
Starting branch for supporting bit operations on count's.
References to Input::Reader and Log::Writer enum types no longer emit
warnings as they are now hardcoded to be documented as part of their
associated framework scripts and so links to them now work.
* 'topic/dopheide/broker-docs' of https://github.com/dopheide-esnet/bro:
A suggestion for reminding folks about calling events in Module namespaces.
I've changed this to include more accurate examples
